Leadership that listens. Governance that protects our future.
Throughout this campaign, the question I have heard most is: “Who are you, Kyle? Where do you come from? I don’t know you.”
Well — you kind of do know me. I’m the concerned citizen. I’m the person who sits at the AGM and asks the questions. I’m the one who served on my own board and saw where the holes are. I’m just a concerned citizen. And I use the same services as every other citizen here.
“By grade one, my son Lucas didn’t say a word. By the end of grade one, he was saying, ‘I love you, Mom.’ That was the greatest moment of our lives — and without the Well-Being Fund at MNBC, he wouldn’t be speaking so early.”
— Kyle Mitton
I use STEP to go back to school so I can get a better quality of life for my family. I use funding from Early Childhood Education so my eldest son, on the severe end of the autism spectrum, has the supports he needs to learn to speak. I use the same services as you — and I’m watching the quality of those services get lower and lower.
This year, STEP is out of money. Three months in. Citizens can’t go back to school. How is this fair? That’s who I am. I’m just a concerned citizen just like everyone else — and I’m trying to make a difference.
Mandatory governance training. Real harassment and board-conduct policies. Clear, transparent rules for how citizen money is spent. I’ve served on my own board and studied governance, risk, and compliance — I’m one certification away from being a credentialed auditor.
Stable autism and special-needs funding that doesn’t disappear when a child turns eight. Protect the Well-Being Fund and Early Childhood Education supports that help Métis kids like my son Lucas learn, speak, and thrive.
Protect and expand STEP so citizens can go back to school without watching the funding dry up three months into the fiscal year. Education is how our families build a better quality of life — it cannot be an afterthought.
I earned my place on the ballot with signatures from citizens — not political insiders. Ten years of marriage taught me how to listen and compromise. That’s the relationship I want with the Board and with you: fix it, listen to it, and know what the problems really are.

Posted July 22, 2026 · Kyle Mitton, Candidate for MNBC President
Taanishi,
Like many of you, I have read Resolution 20260716-01, released by the MNBC Board of Directors following its July 16, 2026 meeting. The resolution confirms that MNBC has received legal correspondence from Hall & Larocque LLP on behalf of certain members of the Board, raising governance concerns with a response deadline of July 24, 2026.
I want to speak to Citizens directly — before rumour and speculation fill the space that leadership should.
I am a candidate for President, not a sitting member of the current Board. It would be inappropriate for me to publicly align with any faction of directors while this matter is active, and I will not do so. Citizens deserve a President who is elected to serve all of MNBC — not one who arrives already owing favours to one camp or the other.
Questions about how our Board is convened, how decisions are made, and how our Constitution is interpreted are not partisan questions. They belong to the Citizens of MNBC. I trust our Board to consider the correspondence in good faith, seek the legal advice they need, and respond within the timeline set out.
While our leadership is spending time and resources on internal disputes, Métis families across BC are still waiting. Waiting for critical operational funding that, for some communities, is the difference between programs running and programs closing. Waiting for education and training funding that reaches them where they live. Waiting for their communities to be resourced instead of being run on volunteer burnout. Waiting to feel like MNBC is close to them, not distant from them.
I am running because Citizens deserve a President who can bring stability back to the boardroom and deliver for families at the same time. Those two things are not in conflict — they are the same job.
I will not comment further on the specifics of the July 14 correspondence, the Board's response, or the individuals involved. That is not my place as a candidate. My place is to earn your vote, tell you plainly what I stand for, and be ready to serve on day one — whatever situation I inherit.
Join me at an upcoming townhall. I want to hear from you directly — your questions, your concerns, and what you need from your next President. All 13 regional and community townhalls, dates, and Zoom links are posted below.
We Are All Métis. Connected Forever. Families First.
Marsii,
Kyle Mitton
